Tom,

What sound card do you have?

Just a long shot, but when I upgraded recently from win '98 SE to XP Pro, my 
soundblaster 1024 card died on me. I had to get help to get an SBLive XP driver 
pack from the net, about 24Mb.

Robin.

  Hi no joy. Plenty sound but immediately after log on.

  Win xp, sp2.

  Any thoughts,

  Tom

    Hi tom,
    I've been away for a while so hope I can be of use.
    Do you get General windows sound? if not, the sound card drivers could be 
taking a while to kick in.
    if so, I'm a bit flummoxed - jaws and narrator use totally different 
software for text output (unless jaws is using mstts by default).

    If you got a hardware syntha round, see if that talks as a default.
    And does the problem fix itself if you try to load a different synth 
without restart jaws?
    To do without speech:
    Insert j for the jaws window,
    Alt then l for language,
    C for change synthesizer,
    E for eloquence (if it's the only one beginning with e).

    HTH,

    Sean.

      Have just had a crash and upgraded from windows xp home to xp pro.

      On startup, jaws is running, but, no sound. When I unload and reload, I 
get sound.

      Though I have jaws set to auto start, I looked in the registry and seems 
like no eloquence is default, though i may be misreading this.

      I can not get sound from narrator at startup either.

      Tom
